    How to (Sorta) Survive the Hellscape of Post-Election Disinformation

    The votes are officially in, but the election is likely to be contested in the coming days and possibly weeks. That means the potential for disinformation will only increase. This week, we spoke with Tom McKay and Dell Cameron, Gizmodo’s resident disinformation experts about social media, the president, and conspiracy theorists, including Tom inadvertently becoming one. We asked for tips to avoid falling for or spreading misinformation, but the answer seems to mostly be “log off.” Eek.

    How the Climate Crisis Could Drown the Internet, With Journalist Maddie Stone

    This week we’re learning just how much the internet impacts climate change and how much climate change in turn could impact the internet if we don’t act soon (in both cases, it’s a lot!). From protecting our fiber optic cable infrastructure from storm surge to the potential impact of wildfires on mobile networks, it turns out the services we are so dependent on might not be ready. We’re joined by veteran science journalist Maddie Stone to talk about the risks and what it is we can do to keep the internet from sinking under the rising tide.
